Sign up for an alumni mentor and get ahead in your career!

Today’s workplace is more turbulent than ever, so you should aim to stand out from the crowd.

One critical thing you can do to get ahead is to get a mentor. Time and time again people who have “made it”, cite having a mentor as the key factor that helped them get to where they wanted to be. You can do this too!

The online Alumni Mentoring Scheme enables you to be mentored, for free, by alumni of the University who have established successful careers in a range of different fields.

Being mentored is enormously beneficial

Your mentor can support you by:

  • Providing insights and tips about breaking into the career areas you are interested in
  • Introducing you to professional contacts and networks
  • Helping with job applications and interviews
  • Enabling you to feel confident about your career development
  • Some mentors also offer work shadowing or work experience opportunities

Mentoring can take place via phone, video call, email and in person – whichever method you prefer.
